Namco Bandai Games
began airing and streaming the first television commercial for SD Gundam
Generation Over World, an upcoming PSP game and the latest title in the G
Generation series.

The simulation game will feature units from 61 titles in
the Gundam franchise, the most ever in the history of the Gundam Generation
games. Units in the game include those from more obscure fan favorites such as
Mobile Suit Gundam Wing: The Last Outpost [G-Unit], as well as the most recent
Gundam releases such as Gundam AGE and the fifth episode of Gundam Unicorn.

For the first time in the G Generation series, the new
game will have two story modes: a "World Tour" mode with battlefields
from various Gundam stories, and a "World Core" mode set in a giant
network database. The game will also have various returning gameplay features
in upgraded formats, such as unit development and upgrade systems.

SD Gundam Generation Over World is ship on September 27
for 6,280 yen (about US$78).

Here are some of my favorite ZEON collectables. I acquried the Harokapu EX Gundam Zabi Family Portrait Set when I was in Japan back in 2006, and this set still sit on my work desk today. And of course this set wouldn't be complete without a Char figure to go with it. And I just love the HaroKapu Char figure where he put on his glove, preparing to do his deeds... alway serves to remind me that revenge is a dish best serve by shooting a bazooka at your enemy's head. LOL. And the Gundam Cafe Zaku Mug was purchased during my recent stay in Japan this past May. Putting all these items together would really make a great gift set... wouldn't you say?
